Heavenly Birthday, My Nephew: Walk & Talk
🚶♀️It's Day 2 of my walk & talk, and my heart is heavy as I wish my nephew a heavenly birthday.
We lost him in 2021, a heartbreaking time when F💊 began to sweep through our communities, tragically taking young lives through contaminated or misrepresented products. The devastating impact continues TODAY: According to recent data, synthetic 💊 are still a primary cause of tragic losses, and young people have seen a particularly sharp increase in these preventable fatalities in recent years. 😔
He loved music 🎶 & I feel him with me today and always 🪽 To my sister if I'm hurting this much, I can only imagine your pain. I ❤️ U
💪 I'll be working out hard today because that's how I process grief. I don't numb this pain with pills or alcohol. This grief for me today isn't just for those lost, but also the grief of being here while they're in heaven. Life here is hard 😪 but I know my nephew wouldn't want to see me yet. He wouldn't want any of us to give up and he is working hard at protecting us !!
So, I focus on my mind & body, striving to show my girls strength in work, at home, and within. I'm not perfect, but I stay away from drugs, and I'm always trying to make things better.
Have a blessed day
